Re: BPCS Keyboard Mapping

Sorry I cannot cite the reference at present, but in my past explorations of
BPCS, I found an exception to the 8 character rule ... some place else was
using an extra character. No problem if we not using that some place else.

BPCS standards are only followed 85% of the time by BPCS vanilla code.

But on 405 CD you need to have the first 7 characters of work station id
unique, because otherwise two sessions different only in the last 2-3
characters, BPCS cannot tell the difference, so people can be messing with
each other's stuff and not knowing it ... big time errors introduced to
BPCS.

This is explained in the member SSALOG00 in the source file BPCSDOC.

The 7 character uniqueness is not correct, from the document you
reference above:


THE FIRST EIGHT CHARACTERS OF EACH WORKSTATION ID MUST BE
UNIQUE.
